I am running sa-update once a day as a part of my daily housekeeping script.

Today, first time since I've been using spamassassin, the spamd would not restart and the spam started pouring in.

Error message:
Starting spamd: [30803] error: spamd: could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Address already in use
spamd: could not create INET socket on 127.0.0.1:783: Address already in use
[FAILED]


Questions:

1.
Where is the command to restart the spamd after the update? I would like to introduce a little sleep in it to avoid this problem.

sa-update doesn't restart spamd. If spamd is being restarted you are doing it.


2.
Is it necessary to restart the spamd even when no update was done - no new version was available for update?

No.


3.
Could a verification of the actual restart be incorporated into sa-update so that the situation when no spamd is running could be averted (spamd started repeatedly)?

Sure, do that.
